Mining bitcoins – a process that helps manage bitcoin transactions as well as create new “wealth” – are the new Beanie Babies. Luckily for us, however, bitcoins seem to be going up in value and should maintain their value over time, unlike your mint condition Tiny the stuffed Chihuahua.

But how do you get bitcoins? You can begin by buying them outright, but the market is currently wild. At $188 per coin, the direction of the bitcoin is anyone’s guess right now and, unlike equities, these things don’t split. In short, you should probably mine. But what is bitcoin mining?

The more you believe in Bitcoin, and the more you show you do to other people, the faster the real value will soar!

I don't remember using Beanie Babies as money.

Does anyone else have any records of Beanie Babies being used as money?  Google doesn't seem to know what the fuck he's talking about, so I assume only he does.
